A general survey is given on possibilities for energy conservation in an oil refinery with special consideration given to palm oils and coconut oil. Some selected areas are discussed more in detail: heat conservation by means of regenerative heat exchangers, optimization of vacuum equipment for deodorization etc. and use of heat pumps. Some examples are given to illustrate possible savings and payback time for installation of energy saving equipment.
